Shed calendar
Runs planned.
Shearing crew scheduling to sheds
Shearing contractors: crews booked to sheds, tallies recorded. Runs planned, pay calculated.
Shed bookings by phone, crews organised by text and tallies on paper. We build scheduling and tally systems for shearing contractors.
Looking for shearing contractor software?
Shearing runs move crews between sheds. We build scheduling, tallies and invoicing.
Wollopit builds record keeping, ordering, booking and sales systems for shearing contractors around how your property actually runs. We connect the tools you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so less of your day goes to paperwork and more goes to the land.

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your shearing contracting business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
07Questions
FAQ
Things shearing contractors ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can shearers see their tallies?
Yes. Shearers can see tallies and pay calculations.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your shearing contracting business. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
Will it work out in the paddock?
Yes. Field tools can save everything on the phone and sync when you're back in range, so nothing gets lost.
Can it help with compliance and audits?
Yes. Records, chemical use, movements and certificates can live in one place and turn into the report you need in a couple of clicks.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most shearing contractors we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
